The Past Two Months in Review

Hi y'all! :)

The past two months have been a whirlwind! Just wanted to give you a few snapshots of what we've been up to...

Well, for starters... we got married!

June 5, 2010

More pictures are posted on our photographer's blog: http://www.jeretslackblog.com/. :)

Two days later, we packed the Volvo and started our long drive east to Tulsa, Oklahoma! Our first stop along the way: Sedona, AZ. That's where we had our "mini-moon"--we loved it! This was the beautiful view that welcomed us:

(Starbucks with the prettiest view) :)

We made one more stop in Albuquerque, NM and then made our way to Tulsa. When we got to Tulsa, we borrowed the chief resident's truck to transport all the boxes and gifts that we had sent to Dr. Choi's house to our new apartment. We were driving all around town and even on the freeway with a truck load of our boxes! I was so nervous...

We had a bit of apartment drama when we first got here...things not working out, having to stay in a hotel for a week, etc. But we ended up getting a place that we liked even better. :) That's the way God works, isn't it? So from then until now, we have been slowly working on our apartment to make it home for the next three years. Pictures of the apartment to come!

Terry started orientation pretty much as soon as we got here. For two weeks, he spent his days with the rest of his intern class sitting through lectures and getting tours of the various hospitals they'd be rotating through. We bonded with the rest of the intern class immediately. We are so blessed to have a family away from family. Here are a few pictures of most of the other interns (minus a few) and their spouses:

We love them!

Terry is on his pediatrics rotation right now and is working hard. Next rotation: surgery! I have been filling my days with running errands (i.e., buying things at Target, unpacking, organizing, returning things at Target, going to the DMV, going to the Social Security Administration, going back to the DMV, registering my car, etc.), meeting up with other residents' wives, studying, cooking, doing dishes... :) The days fill up fast. Some parts of moving here have been frustrating for sure. But the blessings definitely outweigh the inconveniences. We are really growing to love it here...not because of the city itself, but because of the people we're here with. So yeah...we're definitely doing oKAY in OK. :)

We miss you. We love you.

Cherished family and friends~

We have decided to start a blog to keep you all up to date on our life in Oklahoma. We have had a hectic first few weeks already and will be writing about that soon...so stay posted! But we want you all to know that we are oKAY in OK. :) In fact, we are more than okay... We are so blessed to be here and thank God for giving us this opportunity. Wherever we are, His grace is more than sufficient for us... and we are excited to see what these next three years will unfold!

We sorely miss you all and wish you could be here with us. Please come visit! (hehe) Seriously... when else will you ever make it over to the midwest??

We love you,
Terry & Gina
